Quick Summary

Like 3 new jokers, a new blind, a whole lotta bug fixes, and teases for what's to come.
And this time, it won't crash on launch.

Make sure to delete your old versions when installing!

Release Notes

Welcome to Cryptid v0.5.5b!

This time we decided to Collaborate as much as possible, in a Timely manner, to Burn the bugs (a lot of bugs). We needed a lot of Chocolate to be able to do this.

New Jokers

In this update we've introduced 3 new jokers: Clockwork, High Five, and Wonka Bar.

Clockwork Joker

This joker loves keeping time and having steel cards in your hand. Building off of the core idea of Loyalty Card, this joker has different effects depending on how many hands you play, all centered around Steel Cards.

High Five

Hate having ranks below 5 in your hand? Well team up with this joker to convert all scoring cards below 5, into 5s!

Wonka Bar

This candy bar gives you more energy so you're able to play and discard even more cards than before!

New Blinds

In this update we've introduced 1 new Boss Blind, The Scorch

The Scorch

Accessible in Endless only, this blind will absolutely burn the deck to the ground.

Miscellaneous

Squashed a ton of bugs (seriously, look at that changelog)
New Feature: Immutable tables within joker values.
- For you developers out there, if you want to have values in your jokers that can't be touched by other jokers or decks that modify jokers, just add a table titled "immutable" within the config of the joker.
- Any values in this table can be accessed through card.ability.immutable instead of the normal card.ability.extra.

What's up Next?

Below are a couple of new features that we are working on adding to Cryptid in a future release. If they seem interesting, check them out and help us test these exciting new features!

Quantum Computing

We're adding a new Voucher, Quantum Computing, and also adding a new Code card, Global. We are also working on freshening up the code for all things Code (Vouchers, Cards, etc.).

Important! For this experimental version, make sure to also download the v0.5.5b release below to get the correct versions of supporting mods.
Check it out at and help test it at:
https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/archive/refs/heads/quantum-computing.zip

BigNum Everything!

We're working on making it so that way almost all jokers can have values larger than the previously-capped limit of 1e300.

Important Info
